Pyongyang, March 28 (KCNA) -- The United States is talking about what it called "success" in the Iraqi war it has waged as part of its aggressive "anti-terror war." This rhetoric can never help hide its miserable setbacks and those who have committed crimes by waging the above-said war characterized by horrendous genocide and destruction are bound to meet isolation and ruin.
Rodong Sinmun Friday observes this in a signed article. It goes on: Today the U.S. pays a dear price for having waged the aggressive Iraqi war under the pretext of "anti-terrorism." The U.S. has expended everything in the "war against terrorism" over the past several years. It is like pouring water into a bottomless pot. Iraq has turned into an inescapable trap for the U.S.
Iraqi armed resistance forces are conducting attack operations against U.S. occupation troops in various parts of Iraq almost every day, making them shudder. The death toll of U.S. forces in Iraq has reached 4,000. The morale of the U.S. forces in Iraq is sagging, seized with uneasiness and fear. The U.S. authorities and military feel acute shortage of strength of troops with the number of conscription evaders increasing and recruitment remaining a serious problem.
The U.S. seeks to keep enforcing its policy of occupation with the help of its allied countries but it stands no chance of success. Those countries which dispatched their troops to Iraq at the request of the U.S. in the past have already withdrawn them from there or are likely to do so. This goes to prove that the collapse of the "coalition forces" led by the U.S. forces is becoming a reality.
It is getting clearer today that the U.S. committed a great mistake when it started the Iraqi war under the pretext of "anti-terrorism" and it was the beginning of its misfortune. Demonstrations condemning the U.S. and demanding an end to its war in Iraq are going on in an unbroken chain in different parts of the world. Voices demanding a halt to the Iraqi war are growing stronger as the days go by in the U.S., too as there is no prospect of its success. Iraq is being reduced to a bottomless pit to swallow the U.S. up in the true sense of the word.
Miserable, indeed, is the position of the U.S. making desperate efforts to straighten out the Iraqi situation after spawning it under an absurd pretext.
